> I know I promised not to predict any races this
season, but I didn't say I wouldn't gripe and
complain. I don't give a hoot what kind of car a
driver drives. However, it seems to be important
to some people. I notice the first few races this
season, were won by Ford products. Then NASCAR
changed the rules, allowing Chevrolets(a GM
product) to improve the the air dam under the
front bumper. Now GM cars are winning. Jeff
Gordon's Chevy is now competative(on the pole at
Darlington) and Earnhart is winning in a his. It
is beginning to look like NASCAR is manipulating
the rules a little too much. I'm fairly neutral
on this subject because I have several favorite
drivers, at least one in each of the three makes
that run in these races, and next year I may have
favorites in four makes. But it begins to look
like the outcomes are controlled. Rules are good.
Water is good, too. However, too much of either
can be bad.

I find NASCAR to be one of the funnier sports in
concept. Who can race around an oval course the
fastest. What a boring thing! I like the way
Sportscenter's Kenny Mayne put it, when he
intorduced the highlights of a race on a street
course: "...So they decided to race on a street
course instead of just running the oval backwards
to prove the THEIR CARS CAN TURN TO THE RIGHT"

oh, and I also find it wrong that they continued a
race after a tire flew into the stands and killed
a spectator. The bad part was that they threw a
sheet over him because they couldn't get him out
of the stands.
